First, on the matter of insurance ... even if you HAD insurance, it would be a pain in the ass because you are only 41. Since Viagra IS expensive, the insurance companies don't like to pay for it, either. So they make it a royal pain to get if you are under 50 (letter of necessity from the doctor, etc.). Nothing personal, but sometimes it's oversimplifying things to say "just go to your doctor". Especially if you are married, closeted, live in a small town, etc., etc., etc.

I've used Viagra, Cialis and Levitra. For ME, Viagra produced the hardest erection, but the effects do wear off quicker, and if you want to get it to work in a hurry you have to take it on an empty stomach and chew it up (tastes nasty) ... otherwise it'll take a while to get into your system. Not so with Cialis ... it lasts longer, acts quicker, and if you decide to chew it up, it's tasteless. Another advantage is that it isn't the tell-tale blue pill that you might not want your wife/girlfriend finding (if that's an issue).

For ME, even the 50mg dose gives me a pretty rough headache. I tried 100mg (accidentally, believe it or not) ... yes, I got harder a little faster (not always a good thing), and the headache about killed me. I personally don't recommend it, unless you are so overweight that 50mg is absorbed into your system with no effect.

I wasn't impressed by Levitra. 'Nuff said.

BTW, don't confuse a headache with increased blood pressure ... when I had my killer headache I took my BP out of curiosity ... no change. Elevated BP is the silent killer because it DOESN'T have tell-tale symptoms. In actuality, the danger is in Cialis' ability to LOWER BP when combined with other drugs (NOT JUST POPPERS!!! ALSO ALPHA-BLOCKERS USED FOR CONTROLLING BP AND TREATING PROSTATE CANCER (Cardura, Minipres, Hytrin)!!!)

Too many words, sorry.
